| Abstrakt: | Objective The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of tramadol and paroxetine in the treatment of primary premature ejaculation (PE). Study design This study was a randomized controlled trial performed in the outpatient department of Nishtar Hospital, Multan, from January 2017 to January 2018. Methodology One hundred six patients were diagnosed with PE and included in the study. The patients were categorized into two groups receiving either tramadol or paroxetine through a lottery randomization method. The main variables were baseline PE, baseline satisfaction after intercourse, baseline intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), ejaculation control, difficulty in ejaculation, and after-treatment satisfaction with sexual intercourse and IELT. We used IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) for data analysis, and p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Ejaculation control, difficulty in ejaculation, and distress due to ejaculation in patients in the tramadol group was noted as 24.5%, 7.5%, and 7.5%, respectively. Ejaculation control, difficulty in ejaculation, and distress due to ejaculation in the paroxetine group was noted as 49.1%, 17%, and 24.5%, respectively. The differences were statistically significant within the groups at baseline and after treatment of PE (p<0.001). Conclusion Tramadol is an effective and useful drug as compared to paroxetine for the treatment of PE. Tramadol can be used as an alternative to other medications for the treatment of lifelong PE.
